'40 Graces for Forgiveness: A Healing Journey' chronicles a 40-day meditation on forgiveness as it relates to the character of Christ. Spending ten days each considering gifts of the Holy Spirit, attributes of Christ, personal attributes which are in opposition to Christ, and Christ's walk to the cross, 40 Graces for Forgiveness: A Healing Journey follows the example of Jesus as he lived in holy relationship with others. Through forgiveness like his, we learn to become true disciples of Christ: those who do what he did. If you've found forgiveness a struggle too, this study may serve as a helpful launch pad for your own path toward healing. As we strive to walk out the words of the Lord's Prayer?"forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us"?we find freedom to be who God made us to be, and to do all we were created to do.
